Hi Katelynn, welcome to planDisney!
Any visit to Walt Disney World Resort is magical, but a birthday trip adds an extra layer of pixie dust. Be sure to pick up a birthday pin at
Guest Relations or most indoor retail locations throughout the parks. Disney Cast Members are the heart of the
50th Anniversary Celebration and I know they will do everything in their power to make your daughter feel like the special princess she is.
News of
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique's reopening at Magic Kingdom Park on August 25 spread like fireworks through the hearts of Disney Guests. My daughter will be having her first Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique experience on our first Disney cruise this summer and I know first-hand the excitement you are feeling right now. We won't have eyes on the booking process until reservations open in "early August" but you should have no trouble booking an appointment for your daughter as long as there's availability. In a similar situation, I was able to book my son's first haircut at Harmony Barber Shop in Magic Kingdom Park even though he did not have a theme park ticket. You are correct that your daughter will not require valid admission or a theme park ticket if she turns three during your vacation.
There may be a step of the reservation process that requires you to attach the booking to your daughter's My Disney Experience profile, just like you would on a dining reservation. If you haven't already done so, make sure her name appears on your
Family and Friends list. You can do this by clicking "Add Guest" and entering her name and age.
Faith, trust, pixie dust, and a secure internet connection will be needed to secure a coveted Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique reservation. Keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for an announcement about the specific date reservations open and set a reminder on your phone. Reservations for
Enchanting Extras experiences can be made
online or in the
My Disney Experience mobile app 60 days in advance beginning at 6:00 a.m. Guests staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel can book for the duration of their stay 60 days in advance of their arrival; all other Guests may book as each vacation day reaches the 60-day mark.
I know your daughter's going to have a magical birthday, Katelynn. Let planDisney know if we can help answer any other questions before, during, or after your trip!
Choose magic,
Jennifer
